It’s easy to appreciate a local farmers’ market. There are locally grown fruits, veggies, eggs, dairy, meat, and more that you can’t find at your nearest H-E-B. The growers are often right there and can tell you all about what’s in season and what they’re selling. And a good farmers market can get you out of your comfort zone in the kitchen when you’re shopping in season. Plus, it’s hard to beat a Sunday morning strolling booth to booth.
Even better: Shopping at an Austin farmers market helps support our local farmers, ranchers, makers, and more. Local food always tastes better. It’s just a fact.
Here are six farmers’ markets in Austin you can visit each week.
Texas Farmers’ Market at Mueller
The Texas Farmers’ Market at Mueller boasts an impressive list of more than 120 vendors from growers to artisanal makers. Agricultural producers come from within 150 miles of the market, meaning the produce is fresh and doesn’t have to travel far before it gets to your table.
When: Sundays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
Where: 2006 Philomena St.
Sustainable Food Center Farmers’ Market Downtown
Republic Square is bustling every Saturday with over 40 vendors, small local businesses, community programs, and activities for the whole family. Both of the Sustainable Food Center’s farmers markets accept SNAP Lonestar cards and WIC EBT cards, and Double Up Food Bucks are available, which double the amount of Lone Star (SNAP), WIC, and FMNP benefits individuals and families can spend on fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets and mobile markets in Austin.
When: Saturdays, 9 a.m.–1 p.m.
Where: Republic Square, 422 Guadalupe St.
